I’m obsessed with pretty pleated skirts for spring and summer. Although the pleated skirt has been around for a while, I’m loving the colors, details and textures that we’ve been seeing lately. They are definitely something that I think any woman can pull off! Here are a few of my tips for making them wearable on any occasion!
A brightly colored skirt like this blue skirt is fantastic for the color block trend of the season! Pair it with a similarly brightly colored sweater (staying in the same color family, like the green that the model is wearing, is easy or, if you are feeling bold, go the complete opposite with something like orange and it will look fantastic) and then keep the shoes and jewelry to a minimum with strappy nude sandals and delicate silver jewelry for a great date night outfit.
To wear this to the office, tuck in a slim white tank top into the skirt and add a black blazer. Paired with simple black pumps, it’s a super chic and classy outfit for work!
You could go with a slightly longer length like this midi skirt which can be hard to pull off, but paired with a slim-fit sweater – don’t tuck it in to stay with the long lines of the body – and some nude pumps (to help elongate the legs), this skirt will instantly become a staple in your wardrobe. For a casual summer day, slip this skirt on with a flowy tank and strappy sandals and lots of brightly colored bangles!
Lastly, you can go with something like a classic black pleated skirt, but with a twist of studs at the waist! It’s the perfect skirt to go from day to night as you can pair it with a sweater and tights for work and, after you get off work, change into a slim-fitted blouse – tucked in to show off the studs – and voila! An instant change without having to change your entire outfit.
If you haven’t added a pleated skirt into your wardrobe yet, try one out next time you are out shopping. You will probably love them as much as I do!
